I love it. I will definitely renew when the time come. The Military offer me a free site for forms filler but I can never open it on my personal computer. I have to use it on the government issued computer.

We do not use periods with state abbreviations: CT, NY, NJ. The U.S. postal service, incidentally, does not insert a comma between the city and the abbreviated state name: Hartford CT, Portland OR at least not in the addresses on envelopes.
If an abbreviation consists of the first and last letters of a word, the American rule is to include a full/stop period at the end: Mr. Dr.
State abbreviations are entirely a matter of style, and you should use the abbreviation and format dictated by your editor, house style, or preferred style manual. APA style, for a counterexample, stipulates the use of the two-letter USPS ZIP Code abbreviations, which are always capitalized and never include periods.
As such, the state abbreviations were amended in October 1963 to the now familiar two letters.
When punctuating state names, you should place a comma between the city and state, and another comma after the state name, unless the state name is ending the sentence or indicating a dateline. For example, (No comma after state abbreviation because it ends the sentence)
When a geographical name has two or more elements to it, use a comma after each different type of element (city or town, region, state, country) and follow the last element with a comma, unless it occurs at the end of a sentence. Between a city and state: I was born in Bilioxi, Mississippi.
No two states may have the same abbreviation. Take the first two letters of the state name to form the abbreviation. Take the first and last letter of the state name to form the abbreviation.
However, when giving an address, or in tables or other uses in which space is limited, use the US Postal Service's symbol system, which consists of a two-letter abbreviation in which both letters are always capitalized and no periods are used (for example, NY for New York).
We do not use periods with state abbreviations: CT, NY, NJ.
State abbreviations are entirely a matter of style, and you should use the abbreviation and format dictated by your editor, house style, or preferred style manual. APA style, for a counterexample, stipulates the use of the two-letter USPS ZIP Code abbreviations, which are always capitalized and never include periods.
Alabama - AL. Alaska - AK. Arizona - AZ. Arkansas - AR. California - CA. Colorado - CO. Connecticut - CT. Delaware - DE.
Although there is a standard abbreviation of there is it is nonstandard to us ether're as a written abbreviation of there are. People who use this nonstandard form often mistakenly use they're (they're a lot of people coming to the party) or even their (there a lot of people).
No, it is not a proper noun, but when it is part of a larger proper noun, it is capitalized, as mentioned in a previous answer, e.g. State is a common noun which is a noun that refers to a class, for example dog, cat and people. There is no specific name attached to it which marks it out from the states.
Honestly, it depends on where you use it in a sentence: The United States of America is a unique nation. In English, we don't normally capitalize words before a proper noun unless it starts a sentence.
